Megan's Mission

Oi!!! Brazil is a beautiful place! I love the people here and am learning to understand them better....meaning Portuguese. It´s fun because they just laugh with me when what I say makes no sense, or I make up a word. Sister Alcocer, the angel she is, helps a ton! She now knows how to say Sidewalk, street, and cross the street. haha She´s actually pretty good at reading english, she just doesn´t know how to speak it. And english is already weird for me to say, we were singing happy birthday in Portuguese, then Spanish, then english for Camila. haha so great

Glad the Lord sent rain to California!!! what a blessing! Got your work cut out for you dad!!

Happy things are back to normal in the Harston household. I´m sure the spirit did more in those people´s lives than you can see and it helped them then and will help them in the future. Thank goodness for memories! Sunday seems like an amazing experience!

Katrina that is so awesome!!!!!!! You´ll have a blast! Yes, the theory class is a new language. Pray for the gift of tongues it works! haha The fruit snacks were the best kind. Perfect!!

We have some wonderful members here. Two families held Family Home evenings (noite familiares) for our investigators. Spiritual thoughts, hymns, activities, treats. it was wonderful!! They were fellowshipped in amazing ways. Roberio and Elisangela have a baptismal date set for october 26th and their wedding will be before then sometime....EXCITING!!! I love that familiy. Seriously. We´ve been able to joke around a little more with them. He always offers bread, and they like to give us food. Remember learning about how the cashew is actually part of a fruit? yep, we had the fruit, it´s called Caju. Makes your mouth feel dry even though it´s juicy. weird. haha Camila´s baptism was pretty special and our investigator Fatima got to go :) Paulo and his daughter Maria Clara were at sacrament meeting, so he got to be confirmed! He was baptized 7 months ago but due to an accident had to go to the hospital for a month and the confirmation never happened. Sisters tried to visit the family but they were never home. We caught them on the street one day and have been visiting with them regularly ever since. He was interviewed and confirmed and I´m positive his wife Leigiani and his daughter (who´s 8) will be baptized soon too.

The Lord truly has blessed me with the gift of tongues to understand when it´s really important, and to struggle a little so I can grow. He truly is the perfect teacher and I love Him with all my heart. I know this gospel is true. I know the power of the priesthood is only in Christ~s church and can bless so many lives if they open up to feeling the spirit. It truly is a sweet experience to see people repent. THey´re being healed and will be blessed so much. It brings about a change of heart, a change of nature, to become more like our Savior. It´s a marvelous gift.
